Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn away from home to lower league opposition in the form of Middlesbrough in the fifth round of the FA Cup after the draw was made moments ago live on ITV.
The teams were pulled out of the hat by former Manchester United striker Andy Cole before the fourth tie between Liverpool and Cardiff City, with the north Londoners having been allocated ball number 11.
Spurs secured their place in the fifth round following a 3-1 win against Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yesterday evening.
The Championship outfit caused an upset in the fourth round having beaten Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford.
Tottenham’s last taste of success in the competition came in 1991 when Terry Venables’ side beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 at Wembley courtesy of a Paul Stewart goal and Des Walker putting through his own net.
Games are scheduled to take place in the week commencing Monday 28 February, the actual date will be confirmed once matches have been selected for television coverage.
